      "text": "The Thames Tow Boat Company organized in Norwich in December 1865. Its work linked coastal shipping with the coal trade, using tugboats and barges to move material through regional waters. Frank Huntington Chappell, who established a coal and wood business after returning from the Civil War, acquired control of the towing concern in 1878. The later New London yard grew out of this practical need to build, maintain, and repair vessels. It belonged to a transportation economy in which the work of a harbor continued well beyond the moment a ship reached a dock.",

      "text": "Designed in 1900 and built in 1901–1903, the Farnsworth Street shipyard brought together marine railways and numerous workshops. Vessels could be hauled out of the water on cradles for repair. Blacksmithing, boiler work, machine work, joinery, pattern storage, and sawmilling each required spaces and equipment. The photographed complex makes those trades visible through its buildings and their relationships to the waterfront. A repair yard depended on movement between these places: a damaged vessel might require woodwork, metalwork, machinery repairs, and handling equipment rather than a single isolated operation.",

      "heading": "Old power and new demands",
      "text": "During the First World War, naval repair work brought additional demands and equipment to the yard. Electrification changed portions of the shops, but steam continued to serve important functions. The federal survey drew attention to the survival of steam-powered marine railway machinery and an unusually complete arrangement of older industrial facilities. The towing company dissolved in 1931, while the yard continued under the Thames Shipyard name. These changes caution against treating the site as a frozen relic: successive owners and changing contracts adapted a working waterfront while preserving much of its earlier fabric.",

Selected views range from a tug at a pier and aerial overviews to shaft-turning lathes, belt drives, and the marine railway cradles. They allow a visitor to move from the layout of the whole yard to the tools used within it.
